Yamaha KX61 Manual Do Utilizador

Remove the checkmarks by clicking the 
check boxes of “All MIDI Inputs” 
corresponding to the KX MIDI Ports 2 and 3 
respectively.
“Yamaha KX-2” and “Yamaha KX-3” on 
Windows and “YAMAHA KX Port 2” and 
“YAMAHA KX Port 3” on Macintosh correspond 
to MIDI Port 2 and MIDI Port 3 respectively. 
MIDI Ports 2 and 3 of the KX handle the 
messages generated via the operations other 
than keyboard performance such as operations 
via the CONTROL knobs and operations on the 
KX Editor of the computer. Removing the 
checkmarks corresponding to these MIDI ports 
will avoid accidentally recording non-keyboard 
data to a track in Cubase.

NOTE

The checkmark of “All MIDI Inputs” 
corresponding to the KX MIDI Port 2 should 
be removed since “Extensions for Steinberg 
DAW” is included normally in “TOOLS for 
KX.”  Remove the checkmark of “All MIDI 
Inputs” corresponding to the KX MIDI Port 2 
only if the checkmark is checked for some 
reasons.

This is an example screen when using 
Windows. The corresponding 
Macintosh indications are “YAMAHA 
KX Port 2” and “YAMAHA KX Port 3.” 

Remove the 
checkmark.

Click “MIDI Port Setup.”

For data transfer via a USB cable between the 
KX and the computer, you can use three MIDI 
ports by installing the USB-MIDI driver. Each of 
three MIDI ports can handle the different MIDI 
messages as described below. 

MIDI Port 1: 
This port is indicated as “Yamaha KX-1” on 
Windows and “YAMAHA KX Port 1” on 
Macintosh. This port is used for data transfer of 
the musical performance such as keyboard 
performance (note on/off), Modulation wheel 
operation (Control Change) and Pitch Bend 
wheel operation. 

MIDI Port 2:
This port is indicated as “Yamaha KX-2” on 
Windows and “YAMAHA KX Port 2” on 
Macintosh. This port is used for data transfer 
generated by using the DAW REMOTE buttons 
(with the exception of the Cursor buttons, [ESC] 
button and [ENTER] button) and CONTROL 
knobs. 

MIDI Port 3:
This port is indicated as “Yamaha KX-3” on 
Windows and “YAMAHA KX Port 3” on 
Macintosh. This port is used for data transfer 
generated by operating the KX Editor on the 
computer.

NOTE

· When the MIDI Select parameter is 

set to “MIDI” (page 37) and the USB 
TO HOST connector becomes 
inactive, the data communication 
described above cannot be performed.

· When using DAW software other than 

Cubase, perform the MIDI setup 
manually on the DAW software so that 
MIDI Port 1 can handle performance 
data (such as note on/off) and MIDI 
Port 2 can handle data generated by 
controlling the Transport function.

· When using DAW software other than 

Cubase, the MIDI messages 
generated by using the CONTROL 
knob will be transmitted via USB-MIDI 
Port 1. Also when using Cubase, the 
MIDI messages generated by using 
the CONTROL knob will be 
transmitted via USB-MIDI Port 1 only 
when the KnobOutSel parameter is 
set to “CC.”

· On Windows XP, “USB 0-1” (different 

from the above port name) may be 
shown as the port name. If this 
happens, select [Start] 

➝ [Control 

Panel], double-click [Yamaha USB-
MIDI Driver], enter the checkmark to 
the check box of “Use Device Name 
As Port Name (Valid after system 
restart.),” then restart the computer.
